We enjoyed the tour. However, It was disappointing that the Tour Ended with a 7 minute stop at the graffiti area. There were so many historical and spectacular parts of Houston that would have better represented downtown Houston. Saving the best until last certainly did not occur with the conclusion of this Tour. Also , the speaker's voice was muffled during most of the tour too much bass in the audio. Other than these 2 things the Tour was good.

100% recommended. We briefly stopped in Houston on our way back home from New York and decided to book this tour on a whim to see if would see anything before our second flight. Our guide was on time, personable, and very knowledge. She even stopped at multiple neat spots to take photos of the groups who remained social distanced throughout (think either 7 to 8 of us in total so didn't feel packed) A very thorough presentation worth every penny with videos and info to keep you interested and hooked on for more to the last minute. The tour was one of the best walking tours I have ever been on including in my travels to Asia and Europe and served as a lovely introduction into the culture, architecture, and history of city that definitely doesn't seem to promote itself as much as it should.......But maybe that is all of Texas!

I had family visiting from the east coast and they were curious about Houston's cuisine. What better way to show of the amazing food in the city than on a food tour. All the restaurants and choices of food were phenomenal. We also got to visit the tunnel system which I had never been to or heard of and I have been in Houston for 15+ years. The food tour is ran so professional and unique. Our tour guided also took amazing covid precautions; from offering hand sanitizer at each spot and having the tables cleaned off with Clorox wipes. My family visiting also did Astroville's tunnel tour during the day and they loved it. We got send great photos of the tour after.

We enjoyed the tour. However, It was disappointing that the Tour Ended with a 7 minute stop at the graffiti area. There were so many historical and spectacular parts of Houston that would have better represented downtown Houston. Saving the best until last certainly did not occur with the conclusion of this Tour. Also , the speaker's voice was muffled during most of the tour too much bass in the audio. Other than these 2 things the Tour was good.
